glance n.“一眼,看一眼”。粗略地匆匆看一眼。強調動作過程,常常用give / take a glance at。例如:The man gave me a glance。 glimpse n “一瞥,撇見”。無意識的一看,所見不一定全面。強調動作结果,常用catch / get a glimpse of 。 例如:I caught a glimpse of the beautiful house as train train went by. 兩者區別不大,有時可以互用,具體細節比較: glance是強調主動的加以注意瞥了一眼 glimpse強調被動的,比如某個東西在眼前閃了一下,不是你主動去看的參考網頁:http://bulo.hujiang.com/question/272333/
